CHAPTER XXXV
Tong Yan feels that although this year's Mid-Autumn Festival lacks the company of her relatives, it should also be the most lively Mid-Autumn Festival she has ever had. Miao Yuyu and the three of them took her to the night market in the capital, eating, drinking, and having fun, the most rare thing is that Su Hao didn't play tricks on her all night, and several people made trouble until the third watch, and it was almost dawn when Su Hao returned to Zhuangzi.
On the second day, I rested for a day, packed up my things, and on the third day, I was ready to leave for the east city of Jiangnan, the hometown of Tong Yan.
Shi Tianyu had something to do, so naturally he couldn't go, so he sent Tong Yan, Miao Yuyu, and Su Hao out of the South City Gate early in the morning, and after meeting with the guards arranged by Su Hao, Tong Yan and the three of them left by car.
For a few days, I was in a hurry during the day, and rested at a post station or inn at night, the wind was calm, Tong Yan and Su Hao played from time to time, Miao Yu was also happy to see the jokes of the two people, and there was no lack of fun on the road.
Early this morning, the three of them were as usual, just after the hour, Su Hao settled the account with the store, and Miao Yu led Tong Yan into the carriage and continued to rush to Jiangnan. But Su Hao didn't tease Tong Yan as usual along the way, but looked preoccupied.
Taking advantage of the lunch break to eat, Miao Yuyu asked Su Hao: "Brother Hao, what made you unhappy, why don't you see you making such a fuss today as usual?" ”
Tong Yan glanced at Miao Yuyu, and hurriedly said: "This is normal, okay, I usually know how to bully me." "Miao Yu is addicted to watching a play, is this kind of peaceful situation normal! All right!
However, Su Hao did not refute Tong Yan's words, just frowned lightly and continued to eat.
Miao Yuyu was strange, this was not a normal Su Hao, there must be something Su Hao was hiding from them, and asked again: "Brother Hao, what's wrong?" ”
Su Hao glanced at Miao Yuyu, put down his chopsticks, and frowned again: "It's nothing, it's just that I've been a little restless today, and I always feel like something will happen." But since I left Beijing, we haven't encountered anything, maybe I'm too careful. Su Hao's brows furrowed again, revealing his signature smile.
Miao Yuyu saw that Su Hao was just worried, so she didn't continue to ask, and continued to eat hard, Tong Yan was too good to eat, no matter how slow she was, she was afraid that she wouldn't even be able to eat the soup.
At this time, Su Hao walked to the team of guards and carefully explained the matters that the guards should pay attention to.
In fact, on the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, Shi Tianyu found time to tell Su Hao that the road to Jiangnan during this time was not very peaceful, and he heard that a caravan had encountered robbers, but so far no one had died, so the court did not pay much attention to it, but just asked the local county government to catch the robbers. Since yesterday, Su Hao felt that someone was following their convoy and sent someone to investigate, but there was no news when they came back. Su Hao hoped that he was just too careful, their convoy only had two cars and eight guards, and they were not as swaggering as he was in the capital, so they shouldn't let the robbers notice.
However, the reality is always more skinny than ideal, and in the afternoon when the convoy passes through a mountain forest, the robbers appear.
There were about twenty robbers surrounding the convoy, and the two carriages were surrounded by Su Hao and eight guards. Tong Yan looked out through the gap in the car curtain, and Su Hao stood at the front, shaking the peach blossom fan that he never left, facing the strong man who was headed. The first one was a strong man in his thirties, holding a saber and riding a jujube-colored horse, and it could be seen that this strong man was not skilled in horseback riding, and presumably this horse was also robbed.
"This strong man, we are just passing by here, going to Jiangnan to visit relatives, not a caravan, and we are not carrying anything valuable, Su Mou's jasper right is our purchase money, please let us continue to travel." Su Hao took off the jade pendant on his waist and threw it at the strong man. The strong man caught the jade pendant and took a closer look, the jade pendant jasper was translucent, the carving was exquisite, and it was also a rare good thing. The eyes couldn't help but light up, this team of people is really right, they can take out such a good object as road money, they must also be the children of rich families, and there must be a lot of oil and water.
"This son, you are sending your brothers as a meal, right? This jade pendant is really good, but the brothers have dozens of people, dragging their families with their mouths, and this thing is exchanged for silver, so how many days can we eat it? The strong man put away the jade pendant, looked at Su Hao with a smile and said, his eyes drifted to the carriage behind Su Hao again. Listening to the movement, there was someone in the carriage, or a woman, presumably the family members of this handsome boy. If it is a little girl, she can also be happy for her brother if she is taken back.
Tong Yan in the car heard the strong man speak, his brows furrowed, listening to this person speaking with a strong southern accent, it should be a Jiangnan person, why did he come to such a far place to be a robber?
Seeing Tong Yan frowning, Miao Yuyu asked softly, Tong Yan leaned into Miao Yuyu's ear and whispered his doubts to Miao Yuyu. Miao Yuyu also frowned, yes, if it is a person from Jiangnan, it is thousands of miles away from Jiangnan, why would he be a bandit here?
Su Hao saw that the strong man accepted the jade pendant, but he had no intention of letting it go, but looked at the carriage behind him, knowing that he would not be able to easily pass through this forest today, and snorted coldly: "Strong man, it is convenient for you to be convenient with others, why be insatiable." Su Hao is very confident in his guards, although the other party is outnumbered, but his own guards are not vegetarians.
After listening to Su Hao's words, the strong man raised the saber in his hand and pointed at Su Hao, and said angrily: "Grandpa, I am just insatiable, and you want to send me away with a small piece of jade pendant?" Little rabbit, you don't know how powerful you are! ”
"Hmph, call yourself grandpa in front of the master, I'm afraid you don't have this qualification yet!" Su Hao's eyes changed, and the coldness made the strong man shiver. However, it was not the first time that the strong man had seen such a person, and he didn't let them clean it up later, so he didn't say much at the moment, and with a wave of his saber, more than 20 people shouted and rushed up.
The guards narrowed the circle and only surrounded the carriage where Tong Yan was. Although there were only eight people, less than half the number of robbers, they were all well-trained, and in less than half a pillar of incense, although the guards also hung up the lottery, half of the robbers were already lying on the ground. Seeing that more than half of the casualties on his side were on his side, the strong man hurriedly dismounted and let the remaining robbers surround Su Hao and his party, but he didn't dare to step forward easily, and he was unwilling to lose the fat in front of him, so the two sides were in such a stalemate.
Su Hao took advantage of this gap to get into the carriage, and between Tong Yan and Miao Yuyu did not shrink in the corner as he imagined, but lay on the window, lifted the curtain and looked out, feeling that there was an extra row of black lines on his head in an instant, I really doubted what the brains of these two women were made of, and they dared to lie on the window, fortunately, these robbers did not have bows and arrows, or they would have died ten thousand times.
Seeing Su Hao get into the car, Miao Yuyu and Tong Yan immediately lowered the curtain and stared at Su Hao: What should we do?
"Don't worry, it's just some shrimp soldiers and crab generals, it's easy to solve." Su Hao wasn't worried at all, "You two don't lie on the edge of the window, the sword has no eyes, and it's troublesome if you accidentally hurt it." The latter sentence was said by Su Hao to Miao Yu. Just kidding, if Miao Yuyu had any mistakes, it was estimated that Shi Tianyu and Mrs. Su would have to tear down his bones.
Miao Yuyu smiled lightly and said: "I escaped from the war in southern Xinjiang, this little scene can't scare me, I will take care of Tong Yan, you can solve the outside." ”
"Well, you two be careful, I'll go out first." Before the words fell, Su Hao had already drilled out, but he was shocked by the changes in front of him.
